How to display multiple proxy metadata entries in tabular format instead of a single JSON cell

We are currently fetching proxy metadata using an external service and persisting the output as a business event. To reduce the number of biz events, we ingest metadata for all proxies (e.g., 9 proxies) as a single JSON object.

The challenge is that when this data is displayed in a table, the entire JSON object shows up in one cell, which makes it hard to read and analyze.

Is there a recommended way in Dynatrace to:

Separate each proxy’s metadata into its own row or column,
Flatten or expand the JSON array for tabular display,
Or otherwise visualize the data in a more structured format?

Currently, everything is lumped into one cell, but we’d like to see each proxy’s metadata clearly in a table view. What’s the best practice for handling this scenario?

You can parse it using the default JSON DPL, and expand the array with "expand" command:
